Mainstream Media Completely Ignores Global Cooling Data

Mainstream Media Completely Ignores Global-cooling Data

JAMES MURPHY

In all the panic these past few weeks, with a GOP congressman claiming that sea-level rise is due to falling rocks and NASA administrator Jim Bridenstine “changing his tune” on climate change, maybe the mainstream media should be forgiven that it completely missed the very real, data supported, scientific information about the most recent global-cooling event.

In case you haven’t heard (and you probably haven’t due to the media blackout on the subject), the largest two-year global average temperature drop in a century occurred between February 2016 and February 2018. Global average temperature dropped .056C over that period according to the GISS Surface Analysis (GISSTEMP) team at NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies. To find a two-year period even close to that drop, you have to back to the 1982-1984 time period when a .047C drop occurred.

GISSTEMP is pretty much the gold standard when it comes to reporting global average temperature. The UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) uses GISSTEMP data in their reports. Included in the data is the biggest five-month average global temperature drop ever recorded between February to June in 2016. The fourth largest five-month drop occurred from February to June of 2017.

The reason, of course, is that pretty much all mainstream coverage on climate change is agenda — not fact — driven. This is why there is wall-to-wall coverage of the off-the-cuff and, admittedly, rather silly statement of Mo Brooks (R-Alabama) about falling rocks causing sea level rise during a congressional hearing and nary a peep regarding the NASA data from 2016-2018. Because if, in fact, global temperature has dropped for any significant amount of time, it gives “deniers” a leg to stand on in the climate-change debate, which — despite carbon-credit salesman Al Gore’s pronouncements on the subject — is still very much ongoing.

Another recent piece of news that was disregarded by the mainstream media is a scientific study by Nicholas Lewis and Judith Curry that shows that the trusted major climate models are flawed and are overestimating the effects of atmospheric CO2 by as much as 45 percent. The Lewis/Curry study appears in the peer-reviewed American Meteorological Society’s Journal of Climate, so no one can claim that Curry’s and Lewis’s findings were not scientifically vetted.

Any evidence contradicting the climate-change religion is either buried under an avalanche of derision from pundits and pseudo-scientists such as Bill Nye, or worse, outright ignored. This is disturbing for anyone who believes in real science and not the political gamesmanship that passes for science nowadays. The mainstream media cannot be trusted to report accurately or honestly about anything anymore, especially climate science.

It would seem that the UN, the CFR and other globalists entities have made climate change their hill to die on, their last stand in their efforts to dominate the world. Of course, the mainstream media is in on it. If the global-warming narrative collapses, and it seems certain that it will, they’ll have to come up with a brand new plan to scare the world into implementing Agenda 21.

The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical. For 7 years we have not asked for any donations, and have built this project with our own funds as we grew. We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our main websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … TLB
